One of the most affected area post holi is the floor. And the sooner you’ll clean it the better. Otherwise, there is a risk of leaving a permanent mark.

Let it rest until it dry and then wipe it off using a wet rag.

2. Furniture Cleanup
Don’t let those gross looking color patches stay on your furniture for long.
